Blogger's Quilt Festival: Scrappy Quilt Entry

Blogger's Quilt Festival: Scrappy Quilt Entry

Twice a year Amy, of Amy's Creative Side, hosts a Blogger's Quilt Festival over the time for Quilt Market. It has become a huge quilt show online. I love to peruse all the different categories and see all the amazing quilts out there.

Taking photos of our finished projects is very high on my "Why I Love My Job" list. In fact I should make an actual list someday! (note to self) I try to find new places and spots to take photos, but usually they are in my house or front yard.

This is one of our "long-time coming" patterns. We taught this quilt as a Mystery Class back in February.... yes, February. But patterns are now finally available!! Woo hoo! It is a good feeling to get something posted you have been working on forever! 
Introducing Piccadilly Circle!

Dig into your scrap bins and start creating this scrappy paper-pieced circle quilt! This is a great pattern for beginners trying to learn new quilting techniques and experienced quilters alike. Basic foundations, easy curved piecing and a little bit of applique to boot!

Introducing the Lombard Street quilt!

Introducing the Lombard Street quilt!

Lombard Street is a modern, scrappy and fun paper-piecing quilt pattern. This quilt is a fun excuse to go through all your fabric scraps and use all those little pieces you have been saving forever!

Sewology Sunday - Paper Piecing

Set the stitch length on your sewing machine to 18-20 stitches per inch. On some machines that will be a 1.5. The smaller stitches make it easier to rip off the paper. All right, we are ready to begin! (We are using our Lombard Street pattern as an example in the photos. Lombard Street is coming soon!)
